The first step in softening hard wa- ter so that it will become fit for sham- pooing is to boil it. If after it has been boiled and filtered it is still hard, a chemical softener should be used.

If you have a dispute with your neighbor, debate it out with him. Set- tie it with him and ‘et it rest there: do not go around parading the matter before other people. This is the advice Solomon gives here. ‘There are many people who very much need this advice. There are many people who make & practice of parading before all who will listen to them every little difference they have with their neighbors. If a neighbor’s chickens get into their garden and they have a racket about it, the whole community soon hears of it.

Their Jit- | tle family disputes, which should be held inviolate and kept within their own household, they go out and adver- tise among their neighbors and make public property of them.
